ENCIRCLED
Days Change And Return Again
Months Come And Go
Years Past And None Last
All In A Circular Flow

As The Indian Pitches His Tent
So The Eagle Builds His Nest
In Shapes Of The Horizon
Like A Sunset In The West

Life Begins As A Baby
Childhood Comes And Goes
Old Age Follows Adulthood
To A Place That No One Knows

The Beginning Of Life Has No Borders
Identifiable By Mortal Man
Life Has No Definable Ending
As It Stops And Then Begins

Traveling West In The Early Evening
On A Trip To Find The Sun
Takes Us Around The World
To The Place Where We Begun

A Fertilized Seed Begins To Grow
Inside Of A Mother’s Womb
It Can Become A Person
Before Returning To The Womb

Ezekiel’s Wheels And Aztec’s Stones
Are Reflective Of Ancient Of Abstractions
Bronze Shields And Rock Engravings
Are Rhodesian And Chinese Attractions

The Tide Goes Out
And The Waves Come Back
Water Ascend Upward
And Rain Becomes A Fact

What Events Have Occurred
Will Return Again Someday
Our Spoken Words Return To Us
We Must Be Careful What We Say
Around And Around We Go
Always Ending Up Where We Started
Is Life Just One Big Circle
For The Living And Now Departed

Sowing Seeds During Planting Time
Harvesting The Fruits Of Our Labor
Another Circle Is Completed
When Food Comes To The Table

A Merry-Go-Round Is Made For Riding
A Swing Goes In And Out
A Swirling Bridge Pivots On Its Center
Is This What Life’s All About

Blood Leaves The Human Heart
And Travels To The Brain
After It Circulates Through Our System
It Flows Around Again

When I Cast My Bread On The Water
It Returned A Hundredfold
Giving Is Part Of Receiving
Like Glitter Is To Gold

Shinning In The Sky At Night
Reflecting The Sunlight Rays
The Moon Revolves Around The Sun
Twenty-Nine And One-Half Days

The Second Hand Goes Fast
The Hour Hand Goes Slow
Both Must Come Full Circle
As They Have Always Done Before

Springs Keep Following Winters
Summers Faithfully Precede Falls
The Repetition Of Seasons
Is Witnessed By Us All

The Circle Represents Totality
Everything Encircled And Framed
It Is The Alpha And Omega Enclosure
Covering Time Space And Things
